Journal ArticleDOI
The incidence and functional consequences of RT-associated cardiac perfusion defects
Lawrence B. Marks,X. Yu,Robert G. Prosnitz,Su Min Zhou,Patricia H. Hardenbergh,Michael A. Blazing,Donna Hollis,Pehr A. Lind,A. Tisch,Terence Z. Wong,Salvador Borges-Neto +10 more
TL;DR: Radiation therapy causes volume-dependent perfusion defects in approximately 40% of patients within 2 years of RT, and these perfusion defect are associated with corresponding wall-motion abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation-induced lung injury.
TL;DR: Three-dimensional treatment planning tools provide dosimetric predictors for the risk of symptomatic RT-induced lung injury and allow for beams to be selected to minimize these risks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dosimetric and clinical predictors for radiation-induced esophageal injury
Sung Ja Ahn,Sung Ja Ahn,D. Kahn,Sumin Zhou,X. Yu,Donna Hollis,Timothy D. Shafman,Lawrence B. Marks +7 more
TL;DR: A variety of dosimetric parameters are predictive of acute and late esophageal injury after radiotherapy for non-small-cell lung cancer, and the presence of acute injury was the most predictive factor for the development of late injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective assessment of radiotherapy-associated cardiac toxicity in breast cancer patients: analysis of data 3 to 6 years after treatment.
Robert G. Prosnitz,Jessica L. Hubbs,Elizabeth S. Evans,Su Min Zhou,X. Yu,Michael A. Blazing,Donna Hollis,A. Tisch,Terence Z. Wong,Salvador Borges-Neto,Patricia H. Hardenbergh,Lawrence B. Marks +11 more
TL;DR: The authors identified cardiac perfusion defects in approximately 50% to 60% of patients 0.5 to 2 years post‐RT and assessed the persistence of these defects 3 to 6 years post-RT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of patient-specific factors, irradiated left ventricular volume, and treatment set-up errors on the development of myocardial perfusion defects after radiation therapy for left-sided breast cancer.
Elizabeth S. Evans,Robert G. Prosnitz,X. Yu,Su Min Zhou,Donna Hollis,Terence Z. Wong,Kim L. Light,Patricia H. Hardenbergh,Michael A. Blazing,Lawrence B. Marks +9 more
TL;DR: BMI > or =25 kg/m2 may be a significant risk factor for cardiac toxicity after RT for left-sided breast cancer, possibly because of more frequent deep set-up errors resulting in the inclusion of additional heart in the RT fields.
